ART 309 - Installation Art II

Installation art is fundamental to contemporary art practice. Installation art could be made from anything and is often constituted from an interdisciplinary use of material, media, and space. This course will address advanced methods and concepts surrounding installation art and will explore current shifts in the definition of installation art as it relates to contemporary art practice. This 300-level course will further expand on the students’ use of concept-driven decision-making and research-based practices. Students will be required to write project and artist statements and lead class discussions. Students will be encouraged to create site-specific works and to explore various strategies, methods, and materials that range from everyday found objects, sculpture, drawing, painting, and new media such as video, sound, and performance. Students will be expected to apply material and media practices relative to their prerequisite experience. This is a 300-level offering of this course, and students will be expected to work at this level. Course Typically Offered: Every 3 years.
